Psalm 73:8–9

8 They said in their hearts, “We will crush them completely!”

They burned every place where God was worshiped in the land.

9 We are given no signs from God;

no prophets are left,

and none of us knows how long this will be.

8 They said to themselves, “We will utterly subdue them”;

they burned all the meeting places of God in the land.

9 We do not see our signs;

there is no longer any prophet,

and there is none among us who knows how long.

8 They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together:

They have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.

9 We see not our signs:

There is no more any prophet:

Neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.

8 Then they thought, “Let’s destroy everything!”

So they burned down all the places where God was worshiped.

9 We no longer see your miraculous signs.

All the prophets are gone,

and no one can tell us when it will end.

8 They said in their hearts,

“Let us destroy them altogether.”

They have burned up all the meeting places of God in the land.

9 We do not see our signs;

There is no longer any prophet;

Nor is there any among us who knows how long.

8 They thought, “We will completely crush them!”

They burned every place where God was worshiped in the land.

9 We do not see any signs.

There are no more prophets,

and no one knows how long this will last.

8 They said in their heart, Let us make havoc of them altogether:

They have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.

9 We see not our signs:

There is no more any prophet;

Neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.

8 They said in their heart, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all •God’s places of assembly in the land. 9 We see not our signs; there is no more any prophet, neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.

8 They said to themselves, “We will crush them.” 

They burned every meeting place of God in the land. 

9 We no longer see miraculous signs. 

There are no prophets anymore. 

No one knows how long this will last. 

8 They said in their hearts,

“Let us oppress them relentlessly.”

They burned down every place throughout the land

where God met with us.

9 There are no signs for us to see.

There is no longer a prophet.

And none of us knows how long this will last.

8 They said to themselves, “We will utterly subdue them”;

they burned all the meeting places of God in the land.

9 We do not see our emblems;

there is no longer any prophet,

and there is no one among us who knows how long.

8 They have said in their heart,

“We will completely oppress them.”

They burned all the meeting places of God in the land.

9 We do not see our signs,

and there is no longer a prophet.

No one with us knows how long.

8 They had said in their hearts, “We will crush them completely!”

They burned every place where you were worshiped in the land.

9 You don’t give us miraculous signs anymore.

There aren’t any prophets left.

None of us knows how long that will last.

8 They said in their heart, “Let us completely subdue them.”

They have burned all the meeting places of God in the land.

9 We do not see our signs;

There is no longer any prophet,

Nor is there any among us who knows how long.
